GOP cries foul over proposed Illinois Senate map
The Democratic map redraws 59 districts for the Illinois Senate, placing incumbents in shared districts and forcing GOP leaders like Kyle McCarter and David Luechtefeld into new contests. Republicans allege a closed process aimed at preserving Democrats' majority, while Democrats push to have maps approved by May 31 and open public review via ilsenateredistricting com.
